Stroud Green Councillor Laura Edge has uncovered a lottery that no local residents would want to enter. Cllr Edge, in questions to Haringey Council’s Urban Environment directorate, has unearthed that many streets in Stroud Green are without a recycling service for plastic bottles or food waste.

The roads affected are Beatrice Road, Carlisle Road, Dagmar Road , Mount Pleasant Crescent, Scarborough Road, Stroud Green Road and The Grove. Haringey Council indicated that they were unsure when this service was to commence for these areas.

Cllr Edge comments,

“It is ridiculous that access to these recycling services depend on your location. All residents in these roads pay Council Tax but do not receive the same level of service.

“If the Labour party in Haringey is committed to providing recycling scheme then these need to be consistent for all residents.”
